Dear all,Now i have this question in my java program,I think it should be classified as URL problem,but not 100% sure.If you think I am wrong,feel free to recategorize this problem,thanks.
I would state my problem as simply as possible.
I did a search on the famouse Chinese search engine baidu.com for a Chinese key word “奥巴马” (Obama in English),and the way I do that is to pass a URL (in a Java Program)to the browser like:
http://news.baidu.com/ns?word=奥巴马
and it works perfectly just like I input the “奥巴马”keyword in the text field on baidu.com.
However,now my advisor wants another thing.Since he can not read the Chinese webpages,but he wants to make sure the webpages I got from Baidu.com is related to “Obama”,he asked me to google translate it back,i.e,using google translate and translate the Chinese webpage to English one.
This sounds straightforward.However,I met my problem here.
If I simply pass the URL “http://news.baidu.com/ns?word=奥巴马” into Google Translate and tick “Chinese to English” translating option,the result looks awful.(I don’t know the clue here,maybe related to Chinese character encoding).
Alternatively,if now my browser opens “”http://news.baidu.com/ns?word=奥巴马” webpage,but I click on the “百度一下” button (that simply means “search”),you will notice the URL will get changed,now if I pass this URL into the Google translate and do the same thing,the result works much better.
I hope I am not making this problem sound too complicated,and I appologize for some Chinese words invovled,but I really need your guys’ help here.Becasue I did all this in a Java program,I couldn’t figure out how to realize that “百度一下”(pressing search button) step then get the new URL.If I could get that new URL,things are easy,I could just call Google translate in my Java code,and pops out the new window to show my advisor.
Please share any of your idea or thougts here.Thanks a lot.

You could use
then pass the resulting URL to Google Translate like:
